I don't need to. See, in civilized countries, we tend to have at least to some degree capable medias.

PS: i don't want Ukraine in the EU, so why would i be disappointed. oh we have crisis since the end of 2012 - i cannot see how it is connected to Crimea situation
Oh i wouldn't doubt for a second that you "cannot see it". All the better that even your government talks about a real crisis with the weight of the ukraine incident now.
I could list what happened to russias economy just in the last 3-4 weeks, how much money you guys lost and what big of an impact it had on the (i agree there) already measly economy, stuff like 0% projected growth, MICEX/RTS down by 8% in a single week (just one week, not the whole 4 weeks), recession almost not dodgable, rouble continuously on an all time low, etc - i sincerly doubt though, that you have any grasp on reality left to understand what that leads to. Small tip: not "big and strong."
US army is very weak, your troops are struggling to defeat tribes in Afganistan or Iraq while having air superiority, better equipment etc.
I remember that happening before, somewhere in the 80s (you forgot that you guys lost there as well, np). Might be the fact that guerilla and asymmetric wars are not the easiest wars to fight for a conventional army.

@deb
it's significantly below standards for being used as a positive example (?) in the context of legislation that probably will / would be used for silencing dissent. hate-speech / extremism just labaelling used to justify oppression, not important in itself.
however i find the implication that the us has comparatively more freedom of expression for the average jack to make up for it's shortcomings in press freedom dubious. rather i think the index is indicative of the general whatsup.

Get back in your cave, it's people living in the past (like you) who make this world a shitty place. sounds like you a little bit disappointed i can understand you - somebody does his thing and you can't do anything about it I wouldn't go so far as to say "can't". If the USA fought a war with Russia the results would be pretty one-sided. Lets say "won't do anything about it except talk and perhaps some sanctions that won't affect much" and then we can all agree. I do think it's interesting that after a while you stop trying to justify the actions in Crimea as "justified" or "correct" and admit that it's simply the case of Russia taking what it wants because it deserves it and because it wants to be big and strong. On the whole, I think forced annexation of territory, including the real, actual people who live there, is not the behavior of a civilized country.
There is absolutely no chance of a war between Russia and the US. Though you are right that it would be one sided, the whole world will be on the losing side.

Ah well, for his part, there is another country that already couldn't pay it's bills and lives on the brink of poverty and only keeps up by getting more and more into dept... so, crisis anyone?
Getting back to topic ... not much topic there... maybe the reporters are getting bored, but there is not much new I'm reading about! Maybe it IS cooling down for now!

"But...America" and "nothing happening here." Were the soviets this bad back then?

I wish the EU would have a stronger, more united voice to tell USA and Russia to finally stop their dick measurement on the back of others but sadly east europe is too scared of russia because of the past, western europe is money addicted and the middle is both and on top of it too pussy to speak it's mind.

So how many countries are there which are not russia or ukraine, which this thread is about?
Lets see. Countries not capable of paying bills, greek springs to mind, completely irrelevant in here, even though yes, pretty huge crisis - america, ish, not being able to decide on a budget, pretty huge crisis, as far as i remember - yes again there, and what other countries who have no business here in this thread we don't need to talk about?
There's pretty much going on though, don't know why you advertise differently.

There's less `breaking news' but there are finally some in-depth analyses emerging. Those are much more interesting to me.. but it leads to less discussion in the thread, I guess...
As for deescalation, it's not happening. Russia is poised with an invasion force, has officially mentioned Transnistria (looking at the map, that's a bad sign if their troops are east of Donetsk), and they are making new demands on Ukraine - asking for it to become a federation. It's still on the brink, but there's plenty of push-back, so it might die down eventually.

In short, Putin intends to save the world from the West. He has started with Crimea. When he says he is protecting ethnic Russians in Ukraine, he means he is protecting them from the many terrible things that come from the West. A few days after the December address, Alexei Pushkov, head of the Duma committee on foreign relations, defined that threat on the floor of the chamber: “European Union advisers in practically every ministry of any significance, control over the flow of finances and over national programs, and a broadening of the sphere of gay culture, which has become the European Union’s official policy.”
Three months later, this is exactly how Russians see the events in Ukraine: The West is literally taking over, and only Russian troops can stand between the Slavic country’s unsuspecting citizens and the homosexuals marching in from Brussels.

US army has
superior (both in quality and number) tanks
superior (both in quality and number) helicopters
superior (both in quality and numbers) APCs
superior logistics
superior (in quality) artillery
superior combined arms doctrine
(vastly) superior communications
superior UAVs for scouting and for missile attacks
not to mention US air force > russian air force pretty bad
saying us army would be weak against russia because it struggled to stop tribes from hiding and attacking civilians (us never militarily had a problem in straight up engagements, that's why the tribes fought guerilla warfare duh) is apples and oranges unless you think russia would try to fight a guerilla war against the US which would make no sense because any US-Russia land war would be taking place in central Europe where any guerilla action other than special forces would be against the Russians.
US Russia land war would be conventional and US outclasses Russia in every way in a conventional land war this isn't 1947 when the Red Army had the best tanks and almost ten million soldiers.

Just sayin'.
Seriously, no-one thinks Russia could beat the US in a stand-up fight. Could the U.S. successfully occupy and pacify Russia? Probably not. But we're pretty good at smashing opposing armies. Russia, on the other hand, had a hard time putting down Georgia's troops in direct field combat, despite every imaginable superiority. The only remaining geopolitical card Russia carries is its nuclear arsenal.
Don't get me wrong: Europe, on its own, would have a hard time dealing with Russian aggression against, say, the Baltics. Hell, alone in a land war, they would have trouble with the Russian military head-to-head. But they wouldn't be alone.

A friend of mine who is a pilot in the USAF says that basically no one ever shoots down F22's in training exercises -- even the Israeli pilots, who are the best in the world (according to him). The kill ratio is retarded. Long story short, the Russian air force wouldn't stand a chance against the Americans.

seems like the most comprehensive and unbiased metric on the subject. stands well on its own too, i will stop defending it.
if there's no comparative advantage then the us is still a poor example in the general case. your links doesn't show any comparative advantage.
freedom of press is a significant part of freedom of speech, i think you'll agree.

What this thread went down too: it's fairly obvious that best (for Russia) outcome in theoretical war is a draw, as i n everyone dies from nukes.
